Set Notification Sound from Assets folder

Question

I am attaching the sound files in the assets folder for play sound in the notification but I am not able to play sound from the assets folder.

I have setting page from which user can set the sound for the notification and also user can play sound. This part is completed. I am able to play sound from the assets folder using Media Player. I can use same logic at the Notification creation time but problem can be happened when user click on the Notification because media player still playing the sound.

I tried

notification.sound = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/Sound/Long/AlarmClock.mp3"); 

also tried like this

notification.sound = Uri.parse("android_asset/Sound/Long/AlarmClock.mp3"); 

but my issue is still not solved.

Is there any other way to set the sound in the notification from the assets directory ?

or any other idea ? Please give me hint.

Answer 1

put ur mp3 file in res->raw folder, try to fetch sound file from raw folder.

Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.androidbook.samplevideo/" + R.raw.myvideo); 

OR

Uri path = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.androidbook.samplevideo/raw/myvideo"); 

Answer 2

This worked perfectly for me. I found it on another post.

notification.sound = Uri.parse("android.resource://my.package.name/raw/notification");
